resulting compaction shall not be less than ninety percent (90%) or equivalent to the surrounding ground, whichever is the
greater compaction. Where ponding or flooding is used for a maximum settlement, adequate dikes will be constructed to

of two inches (2”) of SC-800 shall be placed on a prepared sub-grade. The SC-800 temporary paving shall be placed after
a maximum of three-thousand linear feet (3000’) or trench has been excavated and backfill operations completed, but in no
case shall the placement of the temporary pavement exceed a five (5) day limit.
